Euchre and Ecarte by MeggieSoft Games 2008
Euchre and Ecarte by MeggieSoft Games - MeggieSoft Games Euchre and Ecarte is a comprehensive implementation of two popular card games:
Ecarte and Euchre (the two-player version). Play against an online opponent or against your
computer. Euchre and Ecarte has a rich user interface and many customizable graphic, sound
(including MIDI music and speech output), rule and scoring options. Six different computer
opponent skill levels are available for when you are unable to get online, or just want to practice
privately.
Each game involves winning the majority of five tricks. In Ecarte, each
player is able to swap unwanted cards with fresh ones from the stock before playing the tricks. In
Euchre, no exchange is permitted, but the players negotiate which suit will be the trump suit.
Points are won for winning the most tricks, winning all five tricks, and (in Euchre) beating the
player who chose the trump suit. MeggieSoft Games Euchre and Ecarte also permits the adventurous
player to combine rules from each game - thus creating a "Eucharte" hybrid.
The user
interface, common to all MeggieSoft Games, supports both point-and-click and drag-and-drop mouse
operations. Features include: realistic animated card movement; right-click pop-up menus; a hint
facility; a tutorial; automatic play; automatic save and restore of partly finished games;
multiple-user scoreboards; a clean and uncluttered main window; status-bar shortcut buttons; and
fully customizable main display font and wallpaper effects for the table and playing mat, and the
card backs.
